Gunmetal/Gray pulleys

[Shane4XC]

Anyone know of any alternatives to these gunmetal pulleys from JRC? For AXS eagle derailleurs:

The only others I could find were titanium… and a ridiculous $600

Kogel makes nice stuff but certainly on the premium end of pricing. Though not $600 premium.

Yeah, $200 was a bit more than I was hoping for as well being that it’s purely a cosmetic upgrade.

I’ll stick with stock I suppose. It makes sense that most companies either supply black or silver… not gray

Have you tried EBay? It seems awash with pulleys of every description.

I did find a few options… but they state compatibility with either SRAM or Shimano 9-12 speed which doesn’t quite seem right

Hope makes good jockey wheels with good bearings. There are a few ebay sources for these in the states. Available in many colors.

The one time I tried aftermarket pulleys, they looked good on day one, but turned noisy (metal pulley compared to a composite material) and seemed to spin like **** after a little dirt and wear.

Notably, this was over 10 years ago, but discouraged me from ever trying this experience again.

If anyone has experienced a performance gain from aftermarket pulleys, I would love to hear about it.
